An MRI on Browns quarterback Brian Hoyer Friday revealed a partial ACL tear in the right knee, a source told ESPN.
Hoyer injured the knee while sliding awkwardly and taking a hit early in the win over Buffalo on Thursday night. He had guided Cleveland to two consecutive wins after two losses to start the season.
Brandon Weeden, who was replaced by Hoyer in Week 3, turned the tables against the Bills. He returned from a thumb injury to lead the comeback victory.
The long-term status of Hoyer remains unsettled. But it appears he will out for a while.
